I always enjoy the New Contemporaries exhibitions at the A Foundation during Liverpool Biennial. This one gets off to a good start as one enters through a ridiculously oversized door. We then see a version of Narcissus sitting on a mirror and a bird looks at its reflection on black paper – the image is painted rather than reflected, cleverly done.
As usual there is a lot of experimenting with new ideas or re-visiting old ideas, young artists striving to be different – to establish their own identity. There’s plenty of humour and playfulness as well as tackling some serious issues.
